Justification for Other Than Full and Open Competition

This document is a contracting justification filed by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a single-source procurement of Water Modification Kits from CamelBak Products LLC (CAGE 063G3).

The procurement involves the Water Modification Kit, National Stock Number 4610-01-699-8815, a portable water purification system designed for field use that includes related accessories such as tubes, adapters, caps, filters, and reservoirs. DLA is requesting 3,509 kits annually at an estimated unit price and total dollar value (redacted). The contracting officer, Amanda P. Breen, determined that CamelBak Products LLC is the sole known source capable of meeting the Government's requirements due to unique technical specifications for which the Government lacks requisite technical data to solicit competitive offers. The Water Modification Kit is commercially available off-the-shelf and currently offered for public sale. The statutory authority cited is 41 U.S.C. § 1901, implemented through Class Deviation 2026-O0028 under the Revolutionary Federal Acquisition Regulation Overhaul, with authority further supported by FAR Part 12 and DFARS Part 212. The anticipated cost to the Government was determined to be fair and reasonable using price analysis techniques per FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). Market research was conducted in accordance with FAR Part 10, including an initial Sources Sought Notice issued March 22, 2023, for 14 days through SAM.gov, and an updated Sources Sought issued June 24, 2026, for 30 days. The solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) and the Contract Opportunities website in accordance with applicable class deviations and FAR regulations.
